St. Mary Parish is a Vibrant Catholic Community,
Guided by the Holy Spirit and Centered on the Eucharist.
With the welcoming and accepting Heart of Jesus,
We Serve, We Evangelize, and We continue to Learn and Grow in our Faith.
We share information with parishioners via our weekly bulletins (see link below), Facebook, and email. If you're a registered parishioner and are not receiving our parish emails, please contact the parish office at 859-635-4188 or email stmaryalex@fuse.net.
We have some good news to share with you about our Cultivating Legacy Capital Campaign. The parish has money on the table in the amount of $50,000.
What does that mean? It means that our campaign has received a matching grant, dollar for dollar, of up to $50,000. It means that pledges and contributions from the parish can result in $100,000 total for our campaign. It is money on the table, and we are using the title of a hymn, TABLE OF PLENTY, to give this effort a name.
We are asking that pledges and contributions be made beginning July 14 and continue through the first week of September. That timing matches with Friday, September 6, when Bishop Iffert visits St. Mary to dedicate and bless our new facility. Fulfillment of pledges can continue through the calendar year, with the objective of having the match of $50,000 from our gifts and the total of $100,000 in hand by December 31, 2024.
The key to our success in this effort is parish participation. Every contribution, large or small, combines to become the amount that the $50,000 is there to match. Fr. Joe and the campaign co-chairs (Brett Ruschman, Marty Schadler, Karen Zengel) recognize that many of you have been most generous to the campaign so far. We trust that the matching grant motivates everyone--all our parish family-- to give. With the rest of the year to contribute and to fulfill your pledge, we are confident that the Table of Plenty Challenge can be met.
Our goal is $5.9 million. We have $5.730 million pledged so far. That means we need additional pledges of just $170 thousand for the campaign and its projects to be complete. We started the campaign in September 2019 . There is an end in sight! Thank you for your support of our Cultivating Legacy Captial Campaign!
Construction is almost complete on our new multipurpose building and 4 new classrooms. Please drive carefully in the parking lot for the safety of all involved. Thank you!
Please join us Friday, September 6, at noon as Bishop Iffert dedicates and blesses our new classrooms and multipurpose building. All are welcome!

This ~3.5 minute video from 2019 shows a fly through of the new building being built now. Many things have changed since this video was made, but the overall idea is still showcased. The video starts with 2 projects we have already completed - adding new parking spaces and a church elevator.
